Sport Confidence Model

The Sport Confidence Model is a framework that explains how athletes’ beliefs in their abilities influence their performance. It suggests that confidence is built through experiences, such as practice and competition. Higher confidence can lead to better performance, while low confidence may cause anxiety and hinder success. The model identifies factors that affect confidence, including skill level, support from coaches and teammates, and past successes or failures. By understanding and enhancing confidence, athletes can improve their performance and enjoy their sports more fully.
